About Buffett 關(guān)于巴菲特
Warren Edward Buffett is an American investor, industrialist and philanthropist. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful investors in the world. Often called the "legendary investor, Warren Buffett", he is the primary shareholder, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people. He was ranked as the world's wealthiest person in 2008 and is the third wealthiest person in the world as of 2011.
Buffett was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, the second of three children and only son of businessman & politician, Howard Buffett, and his wife Leila (née Stahl). Buffett began his education at Rose Hill Elementary School in Omaha. In 1942, his father was elected to the first of four terms in the United States Congress, and after moving with his family to Washington, D.C., Warren finished elementary school, attended Alice Deal Junior High School, and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1947, where his senior yearbook picture reads:"likes math; a future stock broker."
Buffett is called the "Oracle of Omaha" or the "Sage of Omaha" and is noted for his adherence to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth. Buffett is also a notable philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes, primarily via the Gates Foundation. He also serves as a member of the board of trustees at Grinnell College.
他白手起家,11歲開始投資股票,79歲時(shí)資產(chǎn)已高達(dá)620億美元,成為世界首富;他發(fā)掘了可口可樂、運(yùn)通公司等一大批傳奇性的企業(yè),并數(shù)十年與其共同成長(zhǎng);他公司的股票在30年間上漲了2000倍,股東會(huì)已成為崇拜者的朝圣大會(huì),甚至有人不惜花費(fèi)數(shù)百萬美元換取與他共進(jìn)午餐聆聽教誨的機(jī)會(huì)。他就是沃倫·巴菲特,迄今為止最為成功的投資家,在美國(guó)乃至世界投資歷史上,他的成就無人企及。
巴菲特是有史以來最偉大的投資家,他依靠股票、外匯市場(chǎng)的投資,成為世界上數(shù)一數(shù)二的富翁。他倡導(dǎo)的價(jià)值投資理論風(fēng)靡世界。價(jià)值投資并不復(fù)雜,巴菲特曾將其歸結(jié)為三點(diǎn):把股票看成許多微型的商業(yè)單元;把市場(chǎng)波動(dòng)看作你的朋友而非敵人(利潤(rùn)有時(shí)候來自對(duì)朋友的愚忠);購(gòu)買股票的價(jià)格應(yīng)低于你所能承受的價(jià)位。"從短期來看,市場(chǎng)是一架投票計(jì)算器。但從長(zhǎng)期看,它是一架稱重器"--事實(shí)上,掌握這些理念并不困難,但很少有人能像巴菲特一樣數(shù)十年如一日地堅(jiān)持下去。巴菲特似乎從不試圖通過股票賺錢,他購(gòu)買股票的基礎(chǔ)是:假設(shè)次日關(guān)閉股市或在五年之內(nèi)不再重新開放。在價(jià)值投資理論看來,一旦看到市場(chǎng)波動(dòng)而認(rèn)為有利可圖,投資就變成了投機(jī),沒有什么比賭博心態(tài)更影響投資。
